Jim Keith
Dear friends and family of Jim,
On Saturday, May 7th, Jim was brought to glory to celebrate with his Savior. I am comforted to know that he triumphs with all the saints because of Jesus. I pray that you have the same comfort. He experiences what we can only imagine:
“Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude… shouting, ‘Hallelujah! For our God Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bridegroom has made himself ready. Fine linen, bright and clean, was given him to wear.'” (Revelation 19)
Jim cared for his Lord and his family. He served them in big and little ways. Even though he came from a storied family (the Keith family has a castle in their past!), he humbled himself to serve us. What an honor.
